How do I get word to automatically toggle codes eg in an index

Bodkin

I have documents with an index and numbering which looks fine when printed
but on screen requires me to toggle codes to make it readable. Does anyone
know how to get word to update the codes automatically so that it is easier
to read and amend?

First place to check would be Tools, Options, View uncheck the Field Codes box.
To refresh all fields in a document, Ctrl+A, then F9.
Come back if they dont go away.
Hope this helps

Sorry, the instruction were for 2003 and prior.
Try:
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button to display the Office menu.
2. Click Word Options to display the Word Options dialog box and click.
